Game apparatus and storage medium having game program stored thereon
First Claim
1. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a game program executable by a computer of a game apparatus for executing game processing in accordance with a movement of an input device, wherein the game program causes the computer to execute:
- obtaining an acceleration generated in at least two predetermined axial directions of the input device repeatedly;
calculating a change amount of each of the obtained accelerations during a predetermined time period;
calculating an accumulated value obtained by accumulating the calculated change amounts;
calculating a swing strength of the input device based on the accumulated value; and
executing the game processing using the calculated swing strength.

Abstract
A game apparatus obtains acceleration data representing an acceleration vector in at least two predetermined axial directions of the input device repeatedly, then calculates a change amount of each of the acceleration vectors represented by acceleration data obtained during a predetermined swing period, and then calculates an accumulated value obtained by accumulating the calculated change amounts. A swing strength of the input device is calculated based on the accumulated value. The game processing is executed using the calculated swing strength.
